| Some more detail about Chemical Munitions at Najaf |
| 2003-03-27 |
| Via Drudge. There was talk yesterday that some chemical weapons had been captured by the Third ID. This appears to be about that. Also yesterday, US military officials reported that two Iraqi rockets, seized by American troops Tuesday southeast of Najaf, were suspected of containing chemical munitions. It was unlear whether they had been fired or where they were found. The rockets were undergoing testing in a military lab, said Lieutenant Christopher Pike, an intelligence officer with the Third Infantry Division. So at the moment, this is a definite "maybe". In other important news, it appears that the man who captained the USS Enterprise before James T. Kirk is now an Intel guy for the Third ID. |

| #6 Christopher Pike Medal of Valor This is the highest award of Starfleet Command. It is awarded by Starfleet Commands Seventh Fleet but can be recommended by a Ship’s Captain. Named after Fleet Captain Christopher Pike. The military ribbon used is The Yangtze River Service Ribbon. Captain Benjamin Sisko earned this award during his Starfleet career. See DS9 Episode "Tears of the Prophets". Captain Solok was twice honored with the Christopher Pike Medal of Valor. See DS9 Episode "Take Me Out to the Holosuite." |

| #5 Unfortunately, it seems Christopher Pike had to take a demotion when he transferred from Starfleet to the U.S. Army. Constitution-class heavy cruiser command experience must not translate quite that well to the needs of desert warfare. |
